Planning your blogs to reach teachers

Description

Do you want to be more visible to teachers?

Do you want to know what to post and when?

Are you wondering what you should be doing differently?

And the big one: do you even need a blog?

Hi! I’m Isobel. I’m an editor and proofreader of inclusive books for children, and I help children’s authors market their books to UK schools so that they can impact the lives of more children.

When I was a school librarian, I searched online for all kinds of things, but there was always a problem that I needed to solve. I read blogs from literacy organisations, children’s authors and the press – in fact, I read anything that could help me in my quest for information.

So why blogs? What not podcasts or video or social media? 

Because blogs were the easiest media to read online during the school day. No sound, no video and no danger of getting caught in the spam filter or falling foul of social-media restrictions.

In this week-long mini course, I show you what teachers want and need, how to increase your visibility and plan the next three months of blog content – all before the end of term, so that you can take action and let your blogs do the work while you get on with important things like resting, spending time with friends or family or even writing!

‘Isobel shares so much information and provides a great insight into what teachers/schools are looking for and where they put their focus, which means I can work towards appealing to their needs.’

 Josie Dom on Planning Your Blogs to Reach Teachers

This is for you if you:

• Have published a book for children
• Have published traditionally or independently
• Want to get to the attention of teachers and school librarians.

‘Isobel was professional, and very generous with her time and energy. She ensured that everyone on the course was able to make the most of it, no matter how far along they were on their “author journey”.’

At the end of the course you should:
